Acupuncture Can Help With Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Acupuncture has shown it can help with anxiety and panic attacks. In the world of Western medicine, getting help for these conditions often includes drugs that may have unwanted side effects. Other approaches might be counseling, which often takes many, many treatments before one can see results. Are you looking for help that does not include drugs and will bring relief? Are you looking for something that will help and does not require years of treatments? Then consider giving Acupuncture a try.

Qi moves throughout the body via pathways called meridians much like blood in the circulatory system. In the world of Chinese Medicine, the philosophy is that when factors like injury, stress, poor nutrition, or a change in environment disrupt the flow of Qi, health issues follow. Acupuncture works to change the disrupted flow of Qi by inserting needles at specific points in the body.

While anxiety is a standalone condition, it doesn’t create itself.

Often there will be other issues in a person’s health and life that can cause anxiety and will contribute to the severity of a person’s anxiety symptoms. Acupuncture should help with those factors as well.
Examples of some responses, or conditions, that anxiety can trigger:

emotional, such as fear

physical, such as an irregular heartbeat

cognitive, which may include negative thoughts

behavioral, such as uncharacteristic aggression or restlessness

Depending on which of these symptoms are suffered, different anxiety disorders may be diagnosed. These can include:

social anxiety disorder

generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

panic disorder

obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD

post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Life can be a bit stressful at times for us all, but if you are finding that something is causing you to have ongoing stress and anxiety, or making you lose sleep, become depressed, or stay angry all the time, then Acupuncture may be something you want to explore as a way to cope and change what is happening to you physically and mentally and let you begin to feel better.

Pain level before acupuncture...8-9. Pain level this morning...0. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was overwhelmed with joy during a very slow short walk because there was zero pain today. I am so grateful.

I have been enjoying acupuncture for many years. It has helped me with sinus problems, muscle pains and now with an essential tremor. I was on neurological medication that made me forget ordinary things and slur my words, but now that I am not having those problems and I have gone off much of my medication.
I recommend acupuncture for most ailments and Jim is a great practitioner!

My experience has been wonderful! Dr. Burnis is very professional and he explains everything he is doing. He does a complete exam, asking questions about whole body health. My goal is to discontinue my pain medications and I can see that goal in the future!

I would highly recommend Acupuncture treatment for a multitude of issues.
